STORE-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 8, 1916.

Application filed August 18, 1915. Serial No. 46,068.

To all whom 2'25 may concern:

Be it known that 1, MAX TV. CoMBs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Modesto, in the county of Stanislaus and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Store-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to stands for displaying goods in stores, and the object of the invention is to provide a simple and attractive stand for conveniently displaying packages of laces, embroideries, underwear, or the like, which are contained in envelops.

In the accompanying drawing, the figure is a perspective view of my improved stand.

Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates a three-legged base, centrally secured to which is a standard 2, about one inch in diameter. Rotatably supported upon the top of said standard is a boss or block 3, from opposite sides of which extend horizontal rods 4,

which, at a suitable distance from the stand-- ard, as four or five inches, are bent at right angles and extend therefrom vertically downward to nearly the same level as the bottom of the standard, and are then bent horizontally inward, their inner ends being connected to a loop or ring 6, rotatable around the lower portion of the standard. The boss or block 3 is concave on its under side, as shown at 7, and fits upon the convex upper end of the standard, and consequently the rods 4 are freely rotatable about the standard. At suitable intervals, as, for instance, ten inches, there are secured upon the vertical portions of said rods a, rounded collars 8, and from each collar extend in opposite directions, in a Vertical plane at right angles to the vertical plane through the rods and standard, smaller rods or brackets 9. These rods 9 extend to a distance of about five and one-half inches and are then bent upwardly at right angles to form supporting posts 11. The pair of brackets at the same level on opposite sides of the standard are at a distance of nine inches from each other and the posts of the two brackets of said pair, are, on the same side of the planes through the standard, at a distance of five inches from said plane. This furnishes an open receptacle or support for packages nine inches or more in length and of less than ten inches in height, the number of said packages which can be supported upon any pair of brackets depending upon the number whose width is less than five inches. The ends of the packages or envelops rest upon a pair of brackets, the front side of the foremost envelop resting against the pair of posts, and the rear side of the rearmost envelop resting against the rods 4 and the standard. With this contrivance, therefore, a large number of envelops can be supported in position such that they can be easily inspected and removed and replaced when desired.

I claim In combination with a stationary standard, a frame rotatably supported thereon comprising vertical rods on opposite sides of the standard and bent inwardly and directly toward each other at their upper and lower ends, a ring secured to the lower ends and surrounding said standard, a block rotatably MAX W. COMES.
